Reviews
- lavender_unicornHaven't had Indian food in forever! Spotted this place in Gulou with amazing reviews, and yeah it's mostly foreigners eating here. The pani puri was insanely good, super crispy shell, potato and veggies inside, and that green water?? Omg, one bite and I was hooked, easily the must-order. The vegetable curry was rich and loaded with masala flavor, veggies were tender and tasty. Grabbed some butter naan to go with it and it was perfect. The service was great too, our guy spoke really good Chinese, super friendly and attentive, made the whole meal really comfortable. Definitely coming back!!
